The axis is an imaginary line drawn thru the north pole and south pole). It helps to understand the occurrence of seasons on Earth. The scientists use the tilt(23.5 degrees) to show how the northern and southern hemispheres get the four seasons. The tilt is always in one direction and as the earth revolves around the Sun we get the seasons on earth.

What is the imaginary line in which the earth rotates?
Earth's Axis of Rotation, or Earth's Rotational Axis.I haven't heard of other terms.
WHICH SIDE the axis of the earth is tilted?
The Earth spins about its axis. That defines the Earth's axis. It is the axis of spin that is tilted. If the Earth were not spinning it would not have an axis.
Why do scientists on Earth want to know so much about other planets?
We may possibly know how Earth was created.
What term do space scientists use to describe the earth spinning one time on it's axis?
The term is called 'Rotation', or more commonly used, Earth's Rotation. :)
Why does Earths inner core solid?
The Earth's rotation on its axis
What do scientists think will probably cause Earth's next ice age?
changes in Earth's orbit and the tilt of its axis
Scientists think that the tilt of Earth's axis was caused by what hitting the Earth?
Many, many planetesmals and possibly a few protoplanets.
How many scientists believe that the Chilean earthquake shifted the earth's axis?
It is not a matter of belief. It has been scientifically measured that the Chilean earthquake caused the Earth's axis to shift approximately two inches.
